Orlando Jones standout athlete Levonte 'Kermit' Whitfield has narrowed his list of offers to six colleges and he said right now it's more of a battle between Florida State and Miami.

The U has always been Whitfield's favorite. He grew up a Hurricanes fan. He committed to the Hurricanes last spring. His head coach is even a former UM all-American Kenard Lang.

Kermit, however, decommitted from the Hurricanes on March 25 and went in search of what else might be out there. Now that he's seen the options, he has zeroed in on what he likes.

Besides UM and FSU, Whitfield also said Friday that Florida, Ohio State, Clemson and West Virginia have made the cut as his six finalists.

Here's how the 5-foot-9, 165-pound speedster, who just won the Dream 100 track event in New York City last weekend, breaks down his final six schools. (He plans to take part in both football and track and field at the next level):

Miami — "Everything is pretty much the same with them. It never changed. They’re still my school." (Except not enough to full commit.)

Florida State — "Good track team and they are building a dynasty [in football] like they had in the past. Coach [OL coach Rick] Trickett and Coach [OC James] Coley, they're pretty cool guys. I talk to them a lot."

Ohio State — "They seem like they're fixing to have a great year they have a good coach [Urban Meyer]. I like Coach [RB coach Stan] Drayton too. He’s pretty cool."

Clemson — "Good school. I like what they did this year, playing a lot of freshmen to give those players a chance to put themselves out there."

West Virgina —"Very good offense and they like to spread the ball around. Good school also. I like Coach [OC Joe] DeForest. He's a really cool guy."

Florida — "That's a good school also and I'm always talking to coach Trod [DB coach Travaris Robinson]. He's a very cool dude."

But it's still, right now, "between Miami and Florida State."

When asked what it would take to turn him one way or the other, Whitfield thought about it and then said, "I'm not even sure. It will come though. It will be a feeling."

Next up for Whitfield will be a camp attendance at Ohio State, and he will follow that up with a July appearance at the Nike event "The Opening" in Beaverton, Ore., where he will compete in a SPARQ competition for the first time.

Whitfield is the type of athlete who should be able to put up impressive numbers in the SPARQ events — 40-yard dash, 5-10-5-yard shuttle run, vertical leap and power ball toss — but he has never competed in a SPARQ combine.
